Uncomplicated Becca

My sweet husband sent this to me today, I have been struggling with “home sickness” lately (we moved from CO to TX about 2 years ago), and my plate is currently full in all the best ways but my attitude and demeanor just isn’t the same and he has clearly noticed. I thought this was a really sweet and gentle reminder about happiness. I wish I know who to give the credit to but it came to me with “author unknown”. If you know please let me know and Ill be honored to give credit where it’s due. Thought for The Day HAPPINESS We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go...

Uncomplicated living didn’t come easy, Ill be honest, I still very much have to work at it on a nearly daily basis. However, along my journey to un-complicate life, I have stumbled upon, created, invented, and developed a very UNCOMPLICATED routine for day to day housekeeping, my nemesis. I mean, who wouldn’t rather take their kiddos to the zoo or sit on the floor for hours playing cars or baby dolls with their “only this little once” human beings, over daily chores!? I personally have had my fair share of guilt over choosing to do things with them instead of getting chores done and vice-versa, only the guilt of doing chores over spending time with them is much more intense. Either way, chores need to get done and our babes always want us to play with them (for now anyway) so finding the best most uncomplicated housekeeping routine was absolutely necessary for this momma. I had to go through a lot of trial and error, so I’ll only offer the tricks that been the most susta...

Being Gluten Free isn’t my first choice of lifestyle if I’m being honest. I’m a carbaholic/sugar addict and that’s putting in gently. I love all things Italian, (good bread, great pasta, decedent pastries, gelato, etc etc etc) I should really be living in Italy if I want to live my best life but that’s not really realistic. A girl can dream. In the meantime, I have been Gluten Free since 2009 with a 5 year break in between from 2013-2018. It all started with a conversation at work a day after I was released from the hostpital from yet again another MIGRAINE.  I am a longtime migraine sufferer, like my mama. They started about the time I matured into a young woman, if you know what I mean.  Progressively through the years they got worse, lasted longer, and were more easily triggered. I was at a point of desperation when the conversation at work happened. My co-worker, also a migraine sufferer, had recently been diagnosed Celiac. She noticed that since going gluten free her m...
